The hospital is it still an issue!
I believe Roscommon hospital is a major issue still in
Roscommon. I remember Micheal Finneran former Minister of State stating at a time that the Hospital was
not a HAC issue it’s an issue for everybody.
The real proof for me that
the hospital is an issue is that people tell me it is! The calmest people I know in Loughglynn would
swing for Frank Feighan because they voted for him at last General Election
because they believed the promises. I know a man who was going to vote for John
Mc Dermott but decided to vote FG after the promises. The same man says he’ll now vote Naughten till he dies but never Feighan! I hear
people in Castlerea speak very disparagingly about Frank it’s down to the
hospital as for Roscommon town well you've heard them too.
The hospital has become a reason not to vote for Fine Gael
and a reason to support opposition and the Denis Naughten camp for many. Look at Roscommon town.
In Elphin Valerie Byrne got a vote because of the hospital
and the work she’s done. Elphin wanted its Councillor and they got behind her.
The hospital is an issue but it’s not just a HAC issue. Like
the economy was not the preserve of the Progressive Democrats, Irish not the
preserve of Sinn Féin, Law and Order not the Preserve of FG, Agriculture Fianna Fáil or workers Labour.
The Hospital is mainstream maybe the HAC is not?
